Synopsis
When Paulo Marcelo Feliciano becomes a football star, crowds will cheer his famous name! Then his mother wonâ€t have to work long hours, and he wonâ€t have to work all day on a fishing boat. For now, Paulo takes care of his little sister Maria (she teaches him reading, he teaches her football moves) and walks her to school, stopping to give his team-mates cheese buns as they set out to shine peopleâ€s shoes or perform for the tourist crowd. At the dayâ€s end, itâ€s time to plan the game, where Givo will bounce, Carlos will kick – and Jose will fly! But when Jose falls on his wrist, will the team finally break the rules and let a girl show her stuff? Set in a country whose resilient football stars are often shaped by poverty, this uplifting tale of transcending the expected scores a big win for all.Please ask if you need a specific version.
